THANKS for great blog, D. Hollywood tends to take great liberties. In ‘Indecent Proposal’ (the book), the 2 main male players were Jew and German. So there was an underlying animosity between them. For box-office reasons, this racial tension was removed.

Lurker,
If the U boats could sink enough ships Britain would have had to surrender.
Without the capture of the Enigma they would have done that.
Capturing the Enigma meant the Brits could sink U boats, so they could stay in the war.
Ortherwise they would have lost inside a year.

Lurker,
Think of it as poker.
I probably can’t win everything all the other players have got just on one hand.
But if I can see their cards I can beat them hand by hand, until I have won everything.
But it might take a whole evening.
